Hey All,
Since I do pottery and hubby does stained glass, the recent thread
about warm glass has got my creative juices flowing. I would like to do some
decorative pots with fused glass "windows" in them.
So, during my weekly thrift store scrounging, I found an item (for 50
cents) called the "Micro-Kiln EZ-5" (no instructions in box). It's a small
canister made out of some sort of lightweight refractory material (like kiln
brick), about 3 in. high and 4 in. across. Checked all the search engines
and found only one reference: says that it fuses glass in your microwave in 1
to 5 minutes. Cost $49. No info on annealing or other details but a warning
on the mini kiln to read all directions before use. The manufacturer is a
Ceramic engineering company in Japan. Found them but I don't speak Japanese!
Any one heard of this?

Hi Cheryl,
I found only one site...but they have a phone number, perhaps you can call
and ask them to fax you the instructions.
